Positivity Amidst the Lockdown

A few months before 2020,   I bet  everyone  of us has already laid out plans for the coming year.  Given quite a number of long weekends, w e already have a good idea for our vacation plans, how will we utilize our work leaves and where will we go during our holidays. Then enter 2020.  January proved to be not a good start of the year. There were volcanoes erupting, celebrities dying and yes of course Covid-19  pandemic . Covid-19  pandemic  which is caused by the Coronavirus  resulted for  most of  us to be locked  down in the comforts of our own homes. Employees were advised to work from home and stay away from the public to contain the spread of the virus. Unfortunately for some, their livelihood was taken away because working from home is not feasible and their company has no means to sustain the workforce.

Every food you take is important. So better choose the healthy ones. I’m a fan of organic food! I guess this is the type of food that best describes me. NO GMOs and pesticides, and surely healthy. Just like me simple, natural and private (hehehe). If you have a space for a garden, learn to plant veggies and fruits using natural fertilizers. I encourage everyone to start consuming organic foods and to know the benefits it can give. How your food is grown is important to your health. Have you ever notice a person after going to a healthy diet course looks differently from before? If she looked dry and uncomfortable last time, she becomes blooming and more energetic. Then you’ll probably tell her, “You lose weight, Oh you look great!” or sometimes “You gain weight, you look so much ...
